Interface MarkupFilter

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractMarkupFilter, AsciiMarkupFilter, UTFMarkupFilter, WMLMarkupFilter

public interface MarkupFilter

Filter used with MarkupWriterImplto determine how to convert the output into a format compatible with the content type. Typically, this means translating certain characters into escape codes (for example, in HTML, convert '<' to '&lt;'.

Implementations should be stateless and thread safe.
